After what has felt like the longest semester possible ever, it has all come to a bittersweet close. This week I finished my last day as an intern for Carle Center for Rural Health & Farm Safety. My last day happened to end on one of the Progessive Agriculture Safety Days. We have spent most of our time and effort this later half of the semester getting everything in order for these 3 days we put on. It was a really great experience for me to be able to attend one of these Safety Days, it really made me feel that all the work I have been putting forth all semester paid off and was worth all of the hours I put into it. The Safety Days take children in the surrounding areas about grade 5, and that tend to be in a rural community. At the Safety Days the children spend their day traveling from station to station learning about different situations that can arise on the farm that they wouldn't have thought about before and how to be safe in the things they do everyday. Each station contains a hands on activity for the kids that lets them put the information they just learned in motion. Overall this semester and internship has been one that I will definitely take with me into my future endeavors. I have taken away with me new skills that I had never planned I would have encountered so early on in my career.
